The castle in Morsko called '' Bąkowiec '' - one of the many objects located on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests - a tourist trail running through the Lesser Poland and Silesia provinces. Its creation dates back to the fourteenth century. The location and construction of the castle qualify it as a defensive watchtower. Its ruins are located on a rocky hill. Located within the Podlesicki Rocks. In 1327 during the reign of Władysław Łokieteek, the village of Morsko was handed over to the Lateran canons in Mystów. At the beginning of the 16th century it was the property of the Włodek family, who probably erected the castle from stone. Then Morsko was taken over by the Zborowscy followed by the Brzescy and Giebułtowscy. In the 17th century the castle was abandoned. In 1929-33, architect Witold Czeczott built a new residential house on the southern side of the castle hill. The building of the castle was founded on the plan of an irregular polygon and had an area of ​​about 500 m2. It consisted of residential and defensive parts. The castle could only be reached on foot from the outer ward located below from the west, which was surrounded by embankments connecting individual rocks. Therefore, the castle in Morsko is an example of a facility that makes good use of natural conditions for defense purposes.
